'Drugs usually enhance or strengthen my perceptions and reactions, for good or ill. They've given me the resilience to withstand repeated shocks to my innocence gland. The brutal reality of politics alone would probably be intolerable without drugs.' - Hunter S Thompson

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Im personally a fan of the late '70s and '80s because thats when Metal really came into its own and
began to flourish. Metal kicked off in the late '60s with bands like Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath
but it wasn't until the '70s that it took off. The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal kicked off and
metal grew and grew.

Being a young gun (23), I am also a fan of the newer stuff. I am an admited Metalcore and Hardcore
fan. I can even tolerate Nu-Metal at times. Diversity through individualism is what music is all about.
If every band played "text-book" Metal then we would have nothing but the same music all the time.
I like that bands are branching out, experimenting, and evolving. Sure, there are the purists out there
that will disagree with new music, but thats fine with me. I love music, new and old, and that wont change.

It's not exactly soft-rock that I like but some of the harder bands mellower stuff, Deep Purple's When a blind man cries, for example; any of Free's ballads, Black Sabbath's Caravan [sorry, forget the exact title], Queensryche's Silent Lucidity [bloody love that one] or Pink Floyd's Wish you were here.

i voted all decades. It's not fare to vote for new artists cause they have more technology available to them, to help them make their music sound better. Every decade had their hits and I listen to them all.
